American Indian Cultural Corridor, Minneapolis

Located along East Franklin Avenue, The American Indian Cultural Corridor’s name and conceptual identity is the work of the Minneapolis-based Native American Community Development Institute.

The goal is to re-brand the traditional heart of the city's Native American community as a place where both Indians and tourists can enjoy Native American food, art, and culture on Franklin Avenue and in the Phillips Neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Minnesota is home to one of the largest concentrations of urban Native Americans in the U.S. For the last forty years, Franklin Avenue in south Minneapolis has been the heart of this community: a place where American Indians live, work, and access cultural-specific services. Today, this presence is visible in the various American Indian institutions clustered on and around the avenue, including urban tribal offices, the American Indian Center, All My Relations Arts Gallery, Little Earth Housing Corporation, the American Indian Industrial Opportunities Center, and the Indian Health Board.

There are many art festivals and galleries, food markets, and opportunities to strengthen the well-being and culture of the Native American community. The Four Sisters Market is a farmer's market where you can purchase fresh produce, teas, syrup, and other commodities most of the year! Make sure to check out All My Relations, an art gallery displaying the works of many local and national Native Artists.
